SHIFT, a.s. was established in the fall of 2005, and has been engaged in expansion and market positioning since this time. The original purpose was to utilise the knowledge gained by a specialised group, and enhance the founders' financial resources as well as those of a few private clients. A number of interesting projects were implemented after the company was founded (see Projects).

Private investments (private equity or venture capital investments) were made in a small number of carefully selected opportunities. By dividing projects into several sub-segments, we diversify the risks and always scan the financial landscape for new impulses in terms of investments. In the near future SHIFT, a.s will be initiating new activities and consolidating ongoing projects in the energy sector - primarily that of renewable energy.
